    The gross estate includes all assets owned by an individual at their death that are used to calculate potential federal and state estate taxes. It includes real property, cash, investments, personal property, and any gifts made after 1976. The gross estate value is the fair market value of all these assets, as determined by appraisals, from which liabilities are subtracted to calculate the taxable net estate. The gross estate differs from the probate estate, which only refers to assets that must go through the probate process.

    gross estate

    Primary tabs
    Gross estate refers to all of the assets used to calculate whether an estate is subject
    to federal and state estate taxes and how much. In order to calculate estate tax,
    one must calculate the gross estate which, after subtracting liabilities, produces the
    net value of the estate used to calculate liability. Gross estate includes essentially all
    substantially valuable property owned by the person at death, including real estate,
    cash, stocks, life insurance, jewelry, furniture, and owed debts. Any taxable gifts
    made by the individual after 1976 will be included in the taxable estate. The fair
    market value of the property is used when calculating gross estate, often calculated
    by appraisals. Gross estate often is confused with probate estate, which refers to
    the property in an estate that must go through probate.
